Caligo Landing - Caligonian Constitution

[christian2142 79]

Caligonian Constitution

 

To ensure fluidity in the amongst Caligo Landing (vassal-State under Sutica), the constitution lays down the foundations for a strong government which will only be strengthened through the wisdom of the ages.

 

This document is herein written by Fjordin Sylver of Sutica, previous governor of the Aesculan province under Oren and Great Architect of the Askalene descendents. The title carries influence so far back as Athera in her prime, when the city of Sylverport made impressions upon the sand not in body, but in the quality of her character.

 

Section I. Common Conduct

 

Spoiler

 

I. Caligonian citizens are to maintain a level of respect for one another, as the enemy you make today might be your only shot at survival come tomorrow.

 

II. Non-citizens of Caligo are to be respected as equals or greater, unless they pose a direct threat to the pride of Caligo and her people.

 

III. Caligonian citizens must register for official paperwork at the (then) designated customs office.

 

IV. Under no circumstances may a citizen be caught without official paperwork in their possession (be it at home or on their person). Failure to front legal documents will result in their exile, and the repossession of private property.

 

 

Section II. Taxation and Evasion

 

Spoiler

 

I. Residential taxes are required by the State. Citizens are expected to abide by the taxation imposed by the government, which helps to compensate Sutica for their hospitality and allow for the funding of government projects.

 

II. In case of economic crisis, the Scholarch reserves the right to impose further taxation upon the general population, with no particular preference to net worth of the citizens.

 

III. In all cases, business establishments will be appropriately taxed according to their net worth.

 

IV. Failure to pay taxes or commit tax evasion for two consecutive Elven weeks or more could result in eviction from Caligo, the redaction of citizenship, the repossession of private property, and criminal levels of punishment.

 

 

Section III. Education and Industry

 

Spoiler

 

I. Caligonian citizens are expected to commit themselves and/or their children to an education, or otherwise contribute through government industry and labor.

 

II. Discoveries (especially those in the sense of the scientific nature) upon their unveiling should be discussed with the Scholarch for further investigation and/or utilization.

 

III. Caligonian’s who are deemed unproductive to society or a hindrance to advancement will be condemned to eviction from Caligo, the redaction of citizenship, repossession of private property, and criminal levels of punishment.

 

 

Section IV. Working Conditions and Standards

 

Spoiler

 

I. Caligonian citizens are expected to work under fair conditions granted by their employer. They should not be subject to unsanitary work (unless specifically consented to) or physical punishment for not meeting their employer’s (or employees of the employer) expectations.  

 

II. Failure for an employer to apply appropriate wages (or in the case of internship without payment, the appropriate training) will result in compensation for the employee and the potential termination of their employer.

 

III. Employees are not allowed to be harassed by work staff. Harassment can lead to industrial or academic accidents and/or hinderance. It is therefore a State-level crime.

 

IV. Caligonian citizens can withdraw from work over an extended time without pay, but must receive proper medical paperwork from a registered Caligonian physician (or the Scholarch themself).

 

 

Section V. Militant Conduct and Policy

 

Spoiler

 

I. Members of the Honour Guard (or any Caligonian militant force) may not impose physical threats or violence unless the subject in question directly damages State property and/or directly harms/commits evil against a citizen.

 

II. Members of the Honour Guard (or any Caligonian militant force) may not live outside of their State-specified dwelling unless otherwise instructed.

 

III. Members of the Honour Guard (or any Caligonian militant force) are viewed as government property, and therefore an unprovoked attack against them is viewed as an attack against Caligo.

 

IV. Members of the Honour Guard (or any Caligonian militant force) are expected to submit any confiscated goods from criminals to the Scholarch, where items of significance might be stowed away for the good of the State or appropriated to their rightful holder(s). Withholding said goods may result in termination of militant service and/or criminal levels of punishment.

 

V. Members of the Honour Guard (or any Caligonian militant force) are not allowed to bring personal hostilities into or around Caligo. Personal affairs should not interfere with the safety of Caligo and her people.

 

VI. Members of the Honour Guard (or any Caligonian militant force) are not allowed to search or otherwise forcibly enter a dwelling (especially that of an administrator or the Scholarch) unless given direct instruction from the Scholarch (or designated officials) or a declared state of emergency.

 

VII. Members of the Honour Guard (or any Caligonian militant force) are not allowed to use State-registered equipment outside of their duties in Caligo unless given direct instruction from the Scholarch (or designated officials). Failure to follow this regulation will be viewed as theft of State property and may result in termination of service and/or criminal levels of punishment.

 

 

Section VI. Administrative Conduct and Policy

 

 

Spoiler

 

I. Members of the State Administration have the final say in their area of affairs, but the Scholarch holds the power to override these declarations.

 

II. Members of the State Administration are to wear their appropriate identification accessories at all times unless given direct instruction from the Scholarch.

 

III. Members of the State Administration may not live outside of their State-specified dwellings unless otherwise instructed.

 

IV. Members of the State Administration are forbidden from expelling information shared within the Administration. Failure to abide may result in conviction of treason, and result in varying degrees of punishment (up to death).

 

V. Members of the State Administration are expected to submit their absolute loyalty to the Scholarch.

 

VI. Members of the State Administration are viewed as government property, and therefore an unprovoked attack against them is an attack against Caligo.

 

VII. Members of the State Administration are expected to conduct themselves as models of greatness in society, and not shame themselves to tomfooleries or tragedies lesser savages might succumb to.

 

 

 

 

Section VII. Loopholes and Amendments

 

Spoiler

 

I. Amendments might be applied only by the Scholarch as time progresses to strengthen the Caligonian Constitution, and fill in the void of space between blurred lines as of the original version of this document.

 

II. Exploiting loopholes in the Caligonian Constitution in the court of law will not be tolerated unless within express reason, as it is viewed to be the act of a scoundrel and evasion of justice.
